    Default Ba-help!!!!

    5 years ago I had silicone breast implants done by Dr. Bellin in Ny. I probably went to see 5 different doctors before settling with Bellin because I felt most comfortable with him felt he had the most experience and credintals. What a mistake he was!!!! Not only did I keep waking up during the surgery but my breasts were horrible. They didn't match in size or shape so 2 months later I had a breast lift done by Dr. Nadler(also Ny) on my right breast to match the left. Still wasn't perfect but a huge difference from before.

    This weekend I woke up in agonizing pain in my left breast. When I looked in the mirror it looked like I had a dent in my breast and went to the ER right away thinking I had a leak. They told me it was an infection and to go see my plastic surgeon monday morning. I went onine to look up Nadler only to see his isn't practicing anymore and Bellin was out of the question.

    Instead I went to see Dr. Sherman who was recommended on Dr. Nadler's site and Dr. Fruend who was recommended by the ER nurse that I had. Both believe that I have capsular contracture but Sherman scheduled me for an MRI to see if maybe there is a leak. I've been wanting to get a new BA for a while now but have always been afraid because of my first experience. Can anyone please recommend a good plastic surgeon in Ny/Nj? Has anyone had any experience with Dr. Sherman or Dr. Fruend?

    Mine is in philly. I take the chinatown bus there from nyc -- cheap and fast. And then a 5 min cab from the bus stop to the office. I'm more than happy with my decision to go with him. I had mine done last summer.

    Dr. Adrian Lo 215-829-6900.

    Oooh I've heard good things about adrian lo

    i went with Dr loverme in verona, nj. He's been a PS for over 20 years and was very professional, did a great job with my tuberous breasts (I got the spectrum implant with the valve for adjustments, as well as an areola reduction and minor lift). Verona is about 20 minutes outside nyc, I'm sure you can find a port authority bus heading that way...

    good luck!

    Dr. Bellin did my first B.A. as well (in 2000). I wasnt crazy about them and since had them changed. I had lipo from Dr. Sherman and i wasnt thrilled with the results. While i was there i peeked at his BA pics and I was not impressed. Try Dr.Kornstein, he did my breasts and everyone loves them. Even my hairdresser just got hers from him and she loves them!

    Good Luck and keep us all posted.

    NatalieFRPhilly got her BA and rhino from him.

    if it were me, I wouldn't go to BJ for any plastic surgery. Stupid sales tax.

    Anyway, it sounds like you need someone who specializes in repairs.

    I thought I'd give you guys an update on my boobs. After going to seeing another 2 doctors for a consult I decided to settle on Fruend. I needed to have another lift done and his method seemed to be the best one out of all that I've seen.

    This was my 3rd boob job is less than 5 years! Ladies if you are considering getting having BA please, please think looooong and hard. My other 2 breast jobs were no walk in the park but this was truly pain. I had 450cc's in both my breasts under the muscle...I couldn't walk from the recovery room to the waiting room after. I live about half an hour from the doctor's office and I couldn't make it home, I ended up having to take a cab 5 blocks to a hotel and I was screaming and crying from all the pain.

    I'm 5 weeks post surgery now and while he did an amazing job on the lift and contouring the breast but my right still seems to be larger than my left. After the surgery he told my mom that when he did the lift they were both completley even and there was no need to adjust the size of the implants for each breast. I'm hoping that my right breast is just taking longer to heal and once all the swelling goes down they'll even out.
